    Looks like you could get into it from a scorpio.

    Those shoes are customized. Here is a good tutorial (though I would recommend taping off the parts you don't want the glitter on and I heard mod podge is a great glue) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UjwyyaAxKz8 and definitely spray a sealant on afterwards.

    Love the picture, love the shoes. I agree it looks like you could get in to that pose from a basic invert (what my studio calls "Snake"). I may have to try it this weekend if I am over this nasty cold.

    My big success for this past week was getting into and out of my figure 4 layout (http://poledancedictionary.com/moves/143/lean-back/) without help. This was particularly exciting for me as that's how I hurt my back at the beginning of December and I've been nervous about it ever since! :bigsmile:

    Just figured out who the poler is in the shot, its Sergia Louise Anderson. Not sure if that helps anyone!

    Last pole session I had, it was humid out so I had a really nice sticky pole which is a rarity. I was able to nail the caterpillar climb one-handed. Also finally achieved the flattest jade split I've ever done.

    What is the twisted ballerina? I haven't been able to find any info on it, but it sounds painful!

    I did an Arch Angel/Butterfly for the first time yesterday. :smile:

    Amazing! I think I know that one as the "Fish Hook" and I can't do it yet. Congratulations!

    Thank you! I couldn't reach my foot for the longest time and stopped trying, but came back to it the other day. You really have to arch your back and push from your chest in order to grab that foot.
